From the Paper
" This paper compares and contrasts two animated films. The first, Walt Disney Studios' Peter Pan, is one of a series of animated musicals created by the studio that defined the genre of feature-length cartoons. The film is typical of the mainstream, studio-produced animation that continues to be the benchmark for such productions. It stands in contrast to Rick Park's A Close Shave, a British-produced independent film done in the Claymation style. While the two share some structural similarities, they offer an intriguing example of the differences in sensibilities, aesthetic concerns, and marketing interests between mainstream and independent productions.
Released in 1953, Peter Pan was the ninth feature-length animation to come out of the Walt Disney Studios. It was based roughly on J. M. Barrie's play about a boy who refused to grow up.."

Abstract
The paper reviews the dynamics of the "Peter Pan" story in terms of how it has survived and evolved. The paper explains its themes that embrace the fantasy sanctuary where time stops and children never have to grow up to live in the violent world of "mature" adults. The paper maintains that the more cruel the adult world becomes, the more germane "Peter Pan" is to those who want to dream of a idyllic world where children are safe and will always be children. The paper looks at the movie "Finding Neverland", which features popular actor Johnny Depp playing the role of "Peter Pan" author, Sir. J.M. Barrie. The paper concludes that this is a book that has had an undying appeal through the decades.

From the Paper
"The recent savage slaughter in Virginia Tech's classrooms will be remembered, discussed and debated for years to come. No doubt some psychologist or psychiatrist and a smooth-talking media type or two will conclude that the killer was a "lost boy" who tried to reach out for help, gave all the signals, but somehow just didn't connect. Some creative shrink may even suggest that the shooter was like a Peter Pan character gone mad, a young man who didn't want to grow up and join the ranks of society, but didn't know where to run and hide. So, the story will continue, this tormented Peter Pan bluffed normalcy, played the grown-up game by going to college but secretly, stealthily, turned into a bloodthirsty version of Captain Hook, who, at the end of the play, made 32 innocent students "walk the plank" of his demonic ship of death."

?Peter Pan? and ?Everyman?, 2005.
A comparative analysis of the themes of loss in J. M. Barrie's "Peter Pan" and the anonymous medieval morality play, "Everyman".

Abstract
This paper examines how both the narratives of "Peter Pan" and "Everyman" revolve around themes of loss and how the losses in both J.M. Barrie's famous children's tale and the medieval morality allegory are both physical and psychological in their nature. It looks at how the "Everyman" of the medieval loses his physical life and sense of emotional and social security in his friends, family, and his worldly goods. In comparison, it shows how, in Barrie's "Peter Pan," the title character experiences, first, the loss of his shadow, which is temporary, and then loses Wendy, the Lost Boys ,and the other Darling children.
From the Paper
"Neither of these tales is depressing, however, because along with loss, both heroes gain something back. But while "Everyman," is stripped bare of his old life and illusions, which are replaced with a truer understanding of the divine, Peter's refusal to grow merely results in him recapturing his youth by associating with the next generation of Darling children. Peter refuses to lose his old illusions, refuses to grow up and lose his old life and childhood appearance, and thus refuses to validate the conventional adult journey of life, learning, and life's termination, as reflected in "Everyman.""

Abstract
This paper explains that the Basilica of Saint Peter in Rome reflects the acts of Saint Peter, serves as a model for all the great Churches in Italy and provides a deep historical and religious framework for Christianity. The author points out that Saint Peter is one of the most significant icons of the New Testament. The paper notes that the first Basilica of Saint Peter, finalized in 324 and which was designed in the form of a cross, became worn through the ages and reconstruction was inevitable. The author explains that reconstruction of the new Saint Peter's Basilica, begun in 1503, involved Donato Bramante, who implemented a Greek style cross design, followed by Antonio da Sangallo, who added the Baroque features to the interior, Michelangelo, who contributed his awesome dome, and Bernini, who designed in 1667 the square directly outside the Basilica.

From the Paper
"Jesus christened Peter with the name, Cephas. In translation, Cephas means 'The Rock'. The inference of this name clearly describes the role that Saint Peter played as a primary leader during Jesus' life. As a disciple, Peter witnessed a great deal of miracles and promoted the salvation of Christianity through example. Along with apostles James and John, Saint Peter remained close to Jesus and advised him on many issues. Peter was present for many of Jesus' trials and miracles, documented as the main apostle at Jesus' transfiguration, the revival of Jairus's daughter from the dead and the Agony of the Garden of Gathsemane."

All His First Teeth, 2002.
A discussion of Peter Pan's teeth form J.M. Barrie's two works "Peter Pan" and "The Little White Bird".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the preoccupation by J.M. Barrie of Peter Pan's teeth in his novel "Peter Pan" which is based on an earlier story about Peter Pan provided in the work "The Little White Bird" in which Peter is most painstakingly described as a very young child, just seven days old and lives among the fairies and birds in Kensington Gardens, in the center of London. It looks at how in "Peter Pan" there is a preoccupation with Peter?s teeth and how they are mentioned five times in the novel and how three of those bring up the fact that they are all his first teeth. It evaluates why it is relevant that he still has his first teeth and how there are three important elements to Peter?s teeth. It analyzes how that he does in fact have teeth now and not in Kensington Gardens, indicates a transitional period between the two works. Secondly, that he still has his first teeth indicates how young he still is. Thirdly, that he has not had any knocked out indicates what a brave and talented boy is Peter.
From the Paper
"In Kensington Gardens, Peter is just a baby. He cannot even fly, for he has lost his faith. (It is faith, according to Barrie, that gives a bird the power to fly. Once Peter realizes he is no longer a bird, he looses the ability to fly.) There is much more talk of death and transition in The Little White Bird, and Peter buries the children that sneak into the Gardens and die, guiding their souls as far as he can. Some have speculated that Peter himself dies, and it is this death that enables him to transcend his limitations and go to Neverland. Regardless of that detail, it is evident that between his time in Kensington Gardens and his time in Neverland, the boy who wouldn?t grow up did actually grow just a little: he got old enough to have his first teeth. That suggestion of change is enough to cast any number of shadows across the narrative of Peter Pan. "

Lost Parents, 2002.
Discusses the reversal of the Peter Pan story in today's society, where the lost boys have become the "lost parents".

Abstract
The paper argues that the story of today?s family is in many ways quite the opposite of Peter Pan. It is the grown-ups who have flown out the window and off to wonderful adventures, while the children wait to see if they?ll come home. The question has become not so much one of losing one?s children, but rather, if they will have left the windows open when one comes back. In more direct terms, the parents of today are often trying to live in a ?Neverland? of work and social involvement and the fear of losing ones children has increasingly changed to a nagging thought that one may instead be lost to them. The paper uses literature on the subject to support its argument, including ?There?s No Place Like Work,? by Arlie Russel Hochschild and Jerry Adler?s ?Building a Better Dad".
From the Paper
"There is more to the story of the Lost Parents, though, than just the history of their escape from the home. There is also the story of the children who are left behind. In the staged version of Peter Pan, the character of Captain Hook is generally played by the same actor as Wendy?s Mother. In a similar fashion, the Wizard of Oz draws parallels between the evil witch and the evil adults in Dorothy?s life. The children, in trying to escape from their families and all those controlling grown-ups, end up encountering those grown ups in far more horrid forms. They have gone from parents and neighbors to pirates and witches. In our parallel story of the lost parents, it seems that a similar phenomena may be occurring. While adults are escaping from their children and families, they are increasingly running in to the same problems returned in a more terrible way. Hochschild mentions this, pointing out today?s children are more likely to run into a host of problems such as drug use, teenage pregnancy, and to be victims of violent crime. One might also remind the reader of the increasing upswing in crimes committed by children. The child whose parents have escaped out the window becomes the pirates of their fantasies -- and this is played out in a host of ways. In many urban areas, gangs of children are widely feared. In a more corporate sense, children getting into trouble with pregnancy, drugs, and even simply at school create a financial drain on the economy, ?stealing? the resources their parents work to create."

Peter the Great, 2002.
This paper discusses the achievements of Peter the Great (Peter I).
3,060 words (approx. 12.2 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 89.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the life of Peter the Great especially his role in building the Russian navy. The author starts by describing the strength of the Swedish navy and how Peter I conquered them. The author believes that the building of the Russian military, especially the navy, was testament to the will of this one man, Peter I, who with his genius, foresight, courage and charisma dragged the Russian world into the Age of Enlightenment.
From the Paper
"In a concentrated effort no less fantastic than the U.S. response to Pearl Harbor in World War II, the Russians under Peter's dynamic leadership created a navy in every sense of the word. Not only did they build a fierce contingent of warships and galleys over the next several years; but also they developed the strategy and the strategists that would make best use of the new Russian naval instrument. By the 1720's, the Russians, not the Swedes, would have control of the Baltic. They would keep control of it for the better part of the next two centuries."

Essential Peter Drucker, 2007.
This paper discusses society and the views of Peter Drucker while studying the book "The Essential Drucker: The Best of Sixty Years of Peter Drucker's Essential Writings on Management".

Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that Peter Drucker's mostly astute views on management, individuals and society are both interesting, informative and instructive for those who have an interest in society's economic and social workings. This paper then goes on to review and analyze the views that Drucker puts forward. The writer places emphasis on Drucker's views where he may be a bit less than fully correct - or entirely out of touch with the subject, perhaps based on the fact that between the time Drucker wrote and published his views and this moment in history, events have passed him by.
From the Paper
"When it comes to churches or any nonprofit, they may be using volunteers and operating on bare-bones budgets, but the one thing they have in common is they are viable organizations, with solid structures, good communication systems, and well-managed."
"While covering the dynamics of volunteerism, Drucker does not delve into the enormous power of the corporate organization to fuel local nonprofit campaigns for social change. His discussion of organizations is most frequently based on sociology, productivity, power and political considerations. And he tends to give short shrift to the involvement of older people and their involvement in nonprofits."

Saint Peter's Cathedral, 2002.
A history of Saint Peter's Cathedral in the Vatican.

Abstract
This paper discusses Saint Peter's Cathedral, situated in the Vatican, Italy. Saint Peter's Cathedral, also known as the Basilica of Saint Peter, stands in what was once the Circus of Nero in Rome, where Saint Peter was crucified in 61 A.D. In around 200 A.D., an altar was constructed at the site and Saint Peter's body was buried beneath it. It examines its architecture and history, the way it was, the way it has changed over time and the way it is today. It looks at how it serves as the home church for the Pope and is a glowing testament to the art and architecture of the Renaissance, one of the most influential periods in world culture.
From the Paper
"Saint Peter's contributed to the art world in many ways. Artists were in great demand to paint the many walls and ceilings, and contribute to art works to be placed in the cathedral, so many artists were kept busy in Italy during the time, thereby increasing the awareness and employment in the arts. There are also many mosaics is the church, so a wide variety of artisans were kept busy for decades decorating the massive structure. Art flourished during the Renaissance, and Saint Peter's kept artisans busy, and helped them develop new methods for their crafts, as Michelangelo did when he created the iron beam system to support the massive concrete dome (Editors)."

Peter Singer?s Utilitarian Ethics and Abortion, 2002.
An examination of Peter Singer's book "Writings on an Ethical Life" and his view on abortion. The paper explains that Peter Singer has been hailed as the most influential living philosopher and ethicist.

Abstract
This paper focuses on Singer?s application of the principle of utility to the ethics of abortion. The first part of the paper discusses how Singer refined the utilitarian principles popularly associated with Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill to his own principle of preference utilitarianism. The second part examines how Singer applies this preference utilitarianism to conclude that abortion is completely moral and ethical. The last section is a critical examination of Singer?s utilitarian approach to abortion, as he articulates in the book "Writings on an Ethical Life."
From the Paper
"Recognizing the difficulty of measuring pleasure or happiness, Singer instead proposes a principle of utility based on interests. He writes that ?my own interests cannot, simply because they are my interests, count more than the interests of anyone else? (16). Instead of acting according to our own self-interests, Singer calls on people to take on a universal point of view. In essence, one?s own interests and ideas matter only when seen in their consequence to everyone else?s interests. Singer calls this view ?preference utilitarianism.?"

Abstract
This paper examines the move toward westernization that took place in Russia under the reign of Peter the Great. It provides an accounting of Peter's achievements that so intensely impacted Russian society and a discussion of the reasons behind Peter's success .
From the Paper
"The groundwork for the Golden Age that Russia experienced between mid-eighteenth and mid-nineteenth century was laid down by Peter the Great who founded and established the paradigms required for Russia?s supremacy. Peter the Great, the most influential czar and military leader in Russian history, literally transformed his country from an almost medieval backwater region into one of the world?s great powers at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Russia had missed out on both the Renaissance and the Reformation, which left it nearly a century behind the rest of Europe in every field imaginable: social, cultural, political and educational . However, due to Peter?s keen observations and the effective plans of action that thus evolved, Russia emerged, almost overnight, as a mighty empire comparable with the likes of Britain, France and Germany. This rapid change in Russia?s status was thus, wholly dependant upon the revolutionary ways of Peter the Great that he employed to rule over Russia."

Abstract
This paper explains that Pan Arabism is an ideology encompassing Arab regional unity in the Middle East, which has risen and declined over the past several decades. The author points out that the modern version of Pan-Arabism was first promoted by Amir Hussein, who sought independence from the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of a state of Arabia. The paper stresses that Pan Arabism didn't really emerge as a regional force until after the Second World War, when the Baath Party was founded in Syria.
From the Paper
"Pan Arabism is an ideology encompassing Arab regional unity in the Middle East, and has risen and declined over the past several decades. The modern version of Pan-Arabism was first promoted by Amir Hussein, "who sought independence from the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of a state of Arabia." But Pan Arabism didn't really emerge as a regional force until after the Second World War, when the Baath Party was founded in Syria. The emerging Baath Party government in Damascus sought to unite all Arabs in the Middle East through secular appeal and featured socialist and fascist policies."

Abstract
This paper discusses Pan-Africanism, a movement based on the 19th century desire to end slavery not only in the United States but also in South American and the Caribbean. It was from this era that Black people throughout the world decided that the way to address many of the issues they experienced as a race was to work together as a team. The paper describes the international meetings held to discuss this issue and also highlights the leadership of the Pan-African movement. The author concludes that the Pan-Africanism movement was and still is a positive team-oriented effort to introduce the African-American culture to the world and to share the common bond among people worldwide who share an African ancestral background.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"When one studies the topic of Pan-Africanism one is not studying a single element in history but instead is studying a wide range of events and cultural preferences that go along with African American history and culture. Experts agree that there is not a single definition for the term Pan-Africanism but the term itself does define it as an independent idea. The concept of Pan-Africanism is based in the 19th century desire to end slavery. At that time slavery was not only an issue in the United States but was also an issue in several other nations including South American and the Caribbean(Definition of Pan-Africanism? http://geography.about.com/b/a/012445.htm). It was from this era that Black people throughout the world decided that the way to solve many of the problems that the race was experiencing was work together as a team."
